1259 51st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The five-story, seven-unit residential building at 1259 51st Street in Borough Park, owned by Michael Friedman and completed in 2018, has experienced several noteworthy events throughout its short history. Most concerning is an active DOB violation as of February 2024 regarding structural non-compliance potentially affecting neighboring properties.
The building's construction phase (2018-2019) was marked by multiple safety violations, including failure to provide overhead protection and maintain adequate housekeeping conditions, along with interior lighting power requirement failures, resulting in penalties totaling $5,000. These violations were ultimately resolved, and various permits were issued throughout the construction period. Since completion, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent filings (2022-2025) showing zero infestations or eradications across all units.
While there have been some recent complaints in 2024 regarding building shaking/vibrating and construction enforcement, inspections found no violations. A notable historical violation from 2019 regarding failure to certify correction of hazardous conditions was officially dismissed in 2019, along with several other unserved ECB violations from 2018. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and compliance with city requirements, with no significant irregularities reported in recent years.
